Hello,
* As per my surgical experience, there are many reasons of pancreatitis as postoperative stress, enzyme alterations, hormone issues or else relation with immune level issues.
* The staphylococcus is a gram-positive coccus with multiple modes of systemic actions affecting various body systems via different actions via toxins.
* Recovery takes time, but under expert care it recovers the best way to complete resolution.
